The original butterfly border and notebook style image was obtained from this source. However, the poem is written by me, only for Thursday Poetry Rally, Week 27 and copyrights for the words stay solely with me.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Awww… i love butterflies! and writing a poem IN one was awesome!!! And top it all, the poem was one on romance… delicious!!!
Great job, Leo..
thanks Kavi 🙂 glad u liked the butterfly lover.. 😀 hope u dont plan to eat the delicious butterfly 😉
EAT the butterfly??? I might eat the words, but not the butterfly.. 🙂
welcome to the words Kavi 😀 but glad u spared the butterfly 😉
Wow Great work Leo..
–Someone Is Special–
thanks, Saravana 🙂
🙂
I love butterflies,
your words combine with the image,
perfect beauty in poetry and image…
admirable poem!
Thank you for being super considerate, persistent, and intelligent!
your participation is appreciated. 😉
Ji.. glad u liked the poem, image and verse both.. 🙂
oh come on Ji, don’t be soooooo formal 😀 its a pleasure to take part in the rally.. 🙂
u tickle me,
I truly enjoy your wit,
superb of everything…
hehe 😀 thanks again Ji 🙂
next time, rather than saying “participation is appreciated”, why don’t u say, “Hey Leo, rally is set to begin. get your poem up n get to it real quick!”? 😉
n I’ll get into my running shoes n scoot to the rally like a snail 😀 lol.
Well done!!
thanks Ewan 🙂
I’m no fan of Butterflies. 😛
Looks like this Butterfly is flirting and proposing to all the flowers… 😉
Beautiful flirtatious scene you have created 🙂
ah.. no likey butterflies? 😛 poor gal must be allergic i guess.. yeah, actually, he’s proposing to one blossom 😀 not the entire field.. 😉
Butterfly romancing the flowers…
Beautifully portrayed… 🙂
Nice work
thanks Nanka.. 🙂 yeah, romance 😉
The image of the butterfly against the flirtatious,fluttering, whimsical words of this poem is genius. Love feels this way with butterflies in one’s stomach especially when a marriage proposal is at hand.
Well done!
thanks very much, Tasi 🙂 glad u liked it..
Very unique style of showcasing your poem- Very unique. The verse is oh-so-romantic.. One only needs to carry the butterfly and present it to the lady..
🙂
hi Olivia.. no no, u didn’t follow I think 😀 its a butterfly itself proposing to a flower 🙂 not me to a lady…!
glad u liked it 😀
Yeah.. I figured that out.. but liked the beauty so much that I compared it to someone proposing a Lady… I would have said -YES
oh.. glad u liked the beauty then, Olivia 🙂 hope whoever asks you, asks it in a more romantic way.. cheers! 🙂
eeeeeeeeeeee 😀
cute one 😀
wish you had taken a colourful butterfly 😉
i tried.. but this was the best I could get Megz 😛 🙂
Your form is an inspiration…well done!

The layout is super cute. I agree with Olivia that this can be relatable to one person proposing to another, but do enjoy the freshness of your poem being about a butterfly and a flower. Love transcends all.
oh yes, Splash.. love does transcend all 🙂

thanks, Lilly 🙂 glad you liked it..!
I usually don’t like the use of thee and thy, however for this poem it fits. I suppose the very first line “fair blossom” sets the period of the language and you carried it through. Great poem. Enjoyed reading it.
hi October 🙂 yeah, its an old style butterfly 🙂 glad u liked reading it.. happy Rally 🙂
Brilliant, I so very much enjoyed this piece. I think you have a talent there
Here is my poem for the rally

happy rally days to you too, Jamie 🙂 glad u liked it..!
wow..this is very lovely and creative! 😀
thanks, Oinky 🙂
Was this a proposal? Did she say yes? Even if it’s just a rehearsal you should keep it for the real think– truly lovely!
http://mairmusic.wordpress.com/
hi Mair 🙂 glad u liked it.. no no, it wasn’t a rehearsal for a proposal 😀 it was actually the butterfly proposing to the blossom.. though I might propose someone in the future this way 🙂
Beautifully done, Leo! I had a hard time deciding which wing to read first, but it works both ways … whether by accident or good planning, the results are marvelous! 🙂
hi Christine, haha 🙂 i meant it from one wing to the other 😀
glad u liked it.. 🙂
Outstanding prose and presentation!
